Have We Become This Lazy??
The office building where I work has been undergoing renovations for at least a year, and the renovations are continuing.
One of the things that occurred within the building was that the bathrooms were updated with auto-flush urinals and toilets.
The auto-flushers on the pissers and shitters contain a light-meter, and when you get done your business and either get up from the toilet or back away from the urinal, the light meter registers the change in light intensity, and this triggers the flush mechanism.
Have we, as a society, become so lazy that we can’t even flush a toilet anymore?? That’s quite pathetic. Flushing a toilet is one of the easiest things you can do during a day, and now that’s being taken away from us.
Now, the biggest problem with these auto-flush units is that they run on batteries. So, when the batteries run out, there’s no flush. And there’s no way to flush the waste disposal unit because the addition of the auto-flushes meant the removal of the normal flush handles. This means that when the auto-flush ain’t working, the waste piles up, and the bathroom REEKS!
This has already happened numerous times in the 4 or 5 months that these units have been used in our building. And with no Glade or Lysol sprays to cover the poopy odor of the toilet-collected deposits, our bathroom can reek. All for the purpose of hands-free flushing.
So if you visit me at work, and have to use the bathroom, don’t be surprised if you see this when you enter the john:

My advice? Go before you come to visit, or have your catheter ready. Of course, you could always pee in the sink, and just hope the auto-faucet is working.

How long until the wiping becomes automated too? And just how many squares would be automatically dispensed (remember from Sienfeld, "just 2 squares!")
As for your restroom, ick and a half! I don't think you've seen any of my public restroom "OCD" posts (in the archives somewhere), but suffice to say, you'd understand why you have my complete sympathies, Joe.
Btw, fantastic closer on your post.
Auto wiping? Sounds awesome!!
I for one am a huge fan of auto flushers. I don't want to have to touch a toilet flusher that a dude just touched after he had his cock in his hand.
Sar: The funny thing is that I was in the bathroom on another floor of this building yesterday, and they also had a stall with "Out of Order" on it! haha! Technology normally moves us forward.....auto-flushers are the exception, it appears.
JJ: I agree with you on that, but the way around it is to flush with your foot for toilets. Urinals? Yeah, that could be a problem unless you're Billy Jack and can take your left foot off the ground high enough to hit the flush. Or, just pee in the sink.
